For 200 the Huawei Honor 5X is awesome

For 200 the Huawei Honor 5X is awesome


Huawei Honor 5X

Amazon had its first official “Prime Day” last year, which was said to be a day full of deals that were equal to or better than annual Black Friday deals. However, the first Prime Day was overwhelmingly viewed as a disappointment. I can see why as there werent a lot of great products featured, but I did get a good deal on some Rubbermaid food storage containers.

Anyway.

Google is making it easier for emergency services to find you when you need them

Google is making it easier for emergency services to find you when you need them


Google is using your Android phone to make it easier for emergency services to find you when you need help. With support from mobile networks, the Emergency Location Service sends your location of your phone to emergency services when you call an emergency number.

From Google:

This feature, when supported by your network, sends location from your phone to emergency services when you dial an emergency number. This uses the same location technologies available to apps on your phone, including Wi-Fi, GPS, and cell towers, to produce a more reliable emergency location both indoors and outdoors.

Your location is only sent to emergency services, and is never seen by Google, nor sent through their servers. The Emergency Location Service will be available as a part of Google Play Services for phones running Android 2.3 Gingerbread or later, which Google says covers around 99% of Android phones.

Emergency Location Service is already live in the UK and Estonia through carriers like BT, EE, Vodafone, O2, Tele2, and Telia. Google is working with other countries and carriers in order to facilitate an faster international rollout of the feature.

Crowdfunding project of the week Modobag is a luggage bag you can ride!

Crowdfunding project of the week Modobag is a luggage bag you can ride!


modobag77565-7565_iuxto5

Its time for your featured crowdfunding project of the week! This is an article series in which we select the coolest crowdfunding campaigns from websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. We all know there are plenty of projects we would rather not waste our time with.

Other featured crowdfunding campaigns: 

  • Omnicharge battery pack
  • Solos Smart Cycling Glasses
  • Basslet wearable subwoofer

I must say this weeks featured crowdfunding project is about the coolest we have seen in a very long time. The Modobag is a luggage bag you can ride! Literally – you can hop on it and take it for a spin through the airport.

The suit case has 2,000 cubic inches of interior storing capacity and measures 22 x 9 x 14 inches, which means it doesnt need to be checked in. Once everything is packed, its simple to pull out the handle bars and jump right on top of it to take a ride.

Maximum speed is set to 8 miles per hour and it has a range of 6 miles (based on a 180-pound user). It is all powered by a "belt-driven, maintenance-free, high-torque 150 watt electric motor".

modobag-2

By the way, its battery can charge your gadgets. The Modobag comes equipped with two USB charging ports than will keep all your devices powered up. And this is no dumb riding bag, either. It actually has smart features that work with the companys official app. This application helps you locate the bag using GPS. Its also possible to set up proximity alerts for when you forget your bag or go to far from it.

Pretty amazing, right? I know I want to get one for myself, but lets not get too excited just yet. This thing looks expensive… and it is. The lowest you can get it for on Indiegogo is $995. That money is well worth it for someone who travels often, though.

It has reached and far surpassed its goal, so theres no need to worry. Shipping is estimated to start this January (2017), so get ready to ride right into your flight!

Check out the Modobag on Indiegogo

Google Play Services 8 4 SDK is available

Google Play Services 8 4 SDK is available


Posted by Laurence Moroney, Developer Advocate

We’re delighted to announce the availability of Google Play services 8.4. There’s a lot of new information to share with you about what’s available to you in this release.



Custom Email App Invites

App Invites is a technology that enables your users to share apps with people they know. In Google Play services 8.4 we’ve updated this to make it easier for them to share via email. Before this you could create a custom email that contained user defined text and an image, but now we’re allowing you to add content from the app directly into the message. It allows you to fully define the email body using HTML, and set the email subject line. So, for example, if you have a favorite cooking app that you want to share with your friends, your invite to use the app can include a favorite recipe from the app. They get the immediate benefit of being able to access the desired content, giving them a more informed choice about whether or not they decide to install the app to get richer and more content. Check out the App Invites sample on GitHub here.

Predicting User spend and churn in games

The Play Games Analytics developer experience is designed to enable game developers to better understand, manage, and optimize game experiences throughout the player lifecycle. With this in mind, we’ve extended the Player Stats API to help you better understand your players behavior, and based on this, entice them to stay in your game.

The churn prediction method will return data on the probability that the player will churn, i.e., stop playing the game. You can create content in response to this to entice them to stay in your game.

Additionally, the spend prediction method will return the probability that the player will spend something in the game. It’s up to you how to handle this data, but -- for example -- if there’s a low probability that the player will spend something, you could provide discounted in-app purchases or show ads.

Fused Location Provider Updates

The Fused Location Provider (FLP) in Google Play services provides location to your apps using a number of sensors, including GPS, WiFi and Cell Towers.

When desiring to save battery power, and using coarse updates, the FLP doesn’t use Global Positioning Services (GPS), and instead uses WiFi and Cell tower signals. In Google Play services 8.4, we have greatly improved how the FLP detects location from cell towers. Prior to this, we would get the location information relative to only the primary cell tower. Now, the FLP takes the primary tower and other towers nearby to provide a more accurate location. We’ve also improved location detection from WiFi access points, particularly in areas where GPS is not available -- such as indoors.

Maps API Improvements

Have you ever wished you could easily handle a tap on a suburb without having to add another layer on the map to intercept the taps? We’ve added an onClickListener for polygons, so you can easily add transparent polygons and intercept the taps directly. We’ve also added on click listeners to polylines and ground overlays.

Here’s how you can use a listener to detect a click on a polygon:

 map.setOnPolygonClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnPolygonClickListener() { @Override public void onPolygonClick(Polygon polygon) { ... } }); 

Info windows now also offer an OnInfoWindowCloseListener and an OnInfoWindowLongClickListener. The on close listener is particularly useful if you wish to zoom back out on the map after the user has looked at the detail associated with a particular marker.

 mMap.setOnInfoWindowCloseListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowCloseListener() {...}); 
 mMap.setOnInfoWindowLongClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowLongClickListener() {...}); 

For more details, and an example that uses these, see the ApiDemos sample on GitHub and check out the historical changes to this sample, so you can see how the new APIs work. Also see the Release Notes.

Support for Aztec bar codes

In Google Play services 7.8, we launched Vision APIs that supported face and barcode detection. One bar code format we didn’t support was Aztec bar codes, so with Google Play services 8.4 we’ve now added support for these.

Applications using BarcodeDetector in its default configuration (no barcode format restrictions) will automatically start decoding AZTEC codes.

Background Beacon Scanning

With Google Play services 8.4, the Nearby Messages API now supports background scanning for Eddystone, the open beacon format from Google. With this update, your app can be woken up when a BLE beacon is sighted. Back in July, Google Play Services 7.8 introduced the Nearby Messages API with a simple publish-subscribe interface. In the case of beacons, developers publish content by adding attachments to beacon records using Proximity Beacon API. These attachments are served back to your app when Nearby sights a beacon of interest.

New methods that we’ve added include a subscribe method for background beacon subscriptions where BLE scans are triggered at screen-on events; an associated unsubscribe event; and the ability to handle intents that you get when the Nearby API calls back during a background subscription.

Fitness Platform HistoryApi Improvements

We now support consistent step counts across the Google Fit app, other fitness apps and Android Wear watch faces with the HistoryApi.readDailyTotal() method. Please see the following documentation for more detail: https://developers.google.com/fit/android/history#read_daily_total_data?utm_campaign=play services_series_launch_121815&utm_source=anddev&utm_medium=blog

We also have a new HistoryApi.updateData() method. This method allows you to update data in one API call without having to delete and insert with two calls.

Place Picker Autocomplete Widget

Today we are announcing the mobile autocomplete widget, the latest addition to our existing set of programmatic autocomplete features on Android and iOS, as well as the addition of Autocomplete to our place picker widget. Autocomplete functionality assists users by automatically completing the name and address of a place as they type. Widgets make it even easier for developers to add autocomplete functionality to their application with just a small amount of code. Learn more about this at this blog post.

Is it possible to enable 15W USB C fast charging 5V 3A

Is it possible to enable 15W USB C fast charging 5V 3A


I ask this since it seems more feasible than enabling something like Quick Charge 3/2.X since this method is open and not proprietary.

It also seems feasible since the OnePlus 3 can clearly handle up to 4A of current at 5V (dash charge) so in terms of hardware it should be able to handle 3A at 5V similarly to the Nexus 5X/6P via the standard USB-C spec.

It doesnt even seem to be able to handle 2.4A via a USB-A to USB-C cable, or even via a USB-C charger using a USB-C cable.

Is there some hardware or software limitation Im perhaps missing? If its a USB-C device it should be able to charge via the USB-C standard

Kevin Spacey is investing in a mysterious gaming smartphone startup Wonder

Kevin Spacey is investing in a mysterious gaming smartphone startup Wonder


A new report claims to have some information on a startup called Wonder. The company is apparently working on a gaming-themed smartphone and counts actor Kevin Spacey among its investors.

At the moment, the official Wonder website is pretty bare bones, with an astronaut helmet logo and a "Coming Soon" label, along with an email address signup bar to get more updates as they are revealed. TechCrunch says it has a little more information on Wonders plans:

According to sources close to the team, Wonder plans to create a smartphone for gamers. Apparently the goal is to build an object so futuristic, it becomes a style icon, starting conversations wherever users go.

The article adds that some of the other investors in Wonder include Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, former NBA Commissioner David Stern and former Facebook COO Owen Van Natta. Wonder currently has a 30-person team and it just hired Tyler Carper, who worked as VP of Engineering at both HTC and more recently Cyanogen:

Carper says "I love the idea of innovating and disrupting the fast changing environment around mobile technology and entertainment. Its one of the biggest consumer market opportunities in the world", implying a gaming-focused phone is indeed Wonders product.

What do you think Wonder might be up to? Let us know your speculation in the comments!

Google Maps is rolling out Wi Fi only mode and mass transit delay notifications to some users

Google Maps is rolling out Wi Fi only mode and mass transit delay notifications to some users


_template_v2

A couple of very useful features have started rolling out to a few lucky Google Maps users in the last couple of days. If youve been following along with our APK Teardowns, you might remember sections covering notifications for mass transit delays and an option to restrict data usage to Wi-Fi only. If youve been eager to see either of these, now might be a good time to open up Maps and poke around.

CEO denies rumors that Cyanogen is shifting focus to apps

CEO denies rumors that Cyanogen is shifting focus to apps


New Cyanogen logo

You might recall back in March when Cyanogen CEO Kirt McMaster claimed his company was going to, and I quote, "put a bullet through Googles head." Their goal is to create a version of Android free from the "tyranny" of Google, but before anyone could say viva la resistance, word came down the pipe that Cyanogen was having to axe a full fifth of their employees.

As we reported this weekend, multiple sources indicated that this brutally executed 20 percent reduction in staff didnt bode well for the future of Cyanogens OS game. The company reportedly had made the decision to "pivot" their profit-based operation to apps.

New Cyanogen logoRecently: Cyanogen Inc. fires over 20% of its staff, OS future bleak75

McMaster has taken social media today to refute these claims. "We are an OS company," the CEO proclaimed, "and our mission of creating an open Android stands." He confirmed the previously reported layoffs, explaining that "startups and disruption are brutal."

If Cyanogen is going forward with their OS ambitions, it will now be with a staff numbering barely over 100. Whether or not the company will be able to achieve the Google-aimed headshot theyre seeking remains unclear, but one thing is certain: the bravado that Kirt McMaster has become renowned for remains intact.

We are an OS company and our mission of creating an open Android stands.

What are your thoughts regarding the future of Cyanogen? Are they on the right track, or did they go astray at some point? Let us know your take in the comments below!

Koushs new screen sharing app Inkwire is available in beta on the Play Store

Koushs new screen sharing app Inkwire is available in beta on the Play Store


Screenshot_20160722-115048

Koushik Dutta, a.k.a Koush, is one of Androids most popular developers. From the custom recovery ClockworkMod to ROM Manager, to Allcast, to Vysor, his apps are downloaded almost religiously amongst power users, developers, and tinkerers. In the last few hours, hes made a new app available in beta, named Inkwire.

Based on Koushs previous app, Vysor, which mirrors your Android devices screen on a computer, Inkwire goes one step further and shares the screen to another Android device, letting someone else help with a problem or issue, which could be especially useful for tech support workers or, as Koush says, independent app developers.

Inkwire is a new app that could improve the remote support experience

Inkwire is a new app that could improve the remote support experience


inkwire

Update, July 22: Duttas Inkwire is now available as a beta. To try it out you will need to join a Google Plus community and then download it from the Play Store. You can get started right here.

Original post, July 15: You may recognize the name Koushik Dutta – hes the developer behind Vysor, an app that lets you control your Android smartphone on a desktop, as well as other popular Android apps. And hes back again, this time with an app called Inkwire.

Vysor and Inkwire do similar tasks, but are different in significant ways. Before Vysor, apps that let you remotely access and control your smartphone required rooting, or the frame rates simply dropped to a point where even simple tasks like typing became torture.

Vysor, however, was one of the first to offer an intuitive and responsive experience. All you had to do was launch the Vysor extension on Chrome, connect and turn on USB debugging on your device, and you could control your phone with your mouse and keyboard. Simple as that.

Inkwire is set to give you the same easy method of remote access, except you dont need a desktop or ADB. According to Koush, Inkwire is "just plain old Android to Android screen sharing, without the cords." The app generates a code that is shared with another user to grant them access to your screen.

Since ADB is not required, you wont be able to control the remote users smartphone directly; however, Inkwire will let users draw over the shared screens to show where to touch. On top of that, Inkwire supports voice chat, which will no doubt facilitate communication between users.

If Inkwire is able to provide a smooth and intuitive but also secure experience, it may shift the paradigm of troubleshooting your Android device. No longer will you have to walk around your neighborhood, looking for a phone repair shop, as many things could be done virtually.

Although we dont know the official release date for the app just yet, Koush promises that the beta link is coming soon to this community page for Inkwire.

Google Drive Bonus Storage Is Expiring

Google Drive Bonus Storage Is Expiring


2 years ago, Google offered 10 GB of free storage for installing the Quickoffice app for Android or iOS. Unfortunately, Googles bonus storage is about to expire.

"We wanted to let you know that you have bonus Google Drive storage expiring on Oct 3 2015. While this bonus period is coming to an end, you can always purchase additional storage," informs Google. "Rest assured that your files in Google Drive remain safe and accessible by you and the people youve shared them with. You just wont be able to add or sync any files unless you are using less than your current available storage or youve purchased additional storage."



Basically, Google wont delete your files, but youll have to delete some of them or purchase more storage if you actually used the 10 GB bonus storage. Since the storage is shared between Gmail, Google Photos and Google Drive, all of these services are affected and you can also delete Gmail messages with large attachments or photos and videos from Google Photos that use your Google storage. Heres how to find Gmail messages with big attachments and a list of Google Drive files sorted by size.
